Aw man, I just watched the DYRTFT video that Jazza put up, I wish I went to tonights gig now but I decided to be sensible with my finances for once. I'm sure the setlist will appear on here soon, that's when i might cry :)
Saying that I hope they were great for those that went tonight and let us know if there were any clues about their futures.

For me, the regrets are not hearing Sheffield Sex City nor Live Bed Show, but then I did get OU and Bad Cover Version. Had they done My Legendary Girlfriend tonight I would be crying.

Sex City was played in the set. Wickerman was played as a 2nd encore. Incredible show but the crowd was dreadful compared to last night. They played til 11:15.... Party Hard was played too, and The Trees!
Was Wickerman played as well as Sex City in the end?
Only Wickerman for the 2nd encore, but this time Russell played on it! He kept trying to launch a paper airline into the crowd and failed all 3 times. Adorable.

They played 10 minutes longer tonight? I feel cheated now
It makes sense the crowd being better on the first night as that sold first so there is likely to be more Pulp fans and less people there just for a night out. I'm happy you guys got Sex City, Party Hard and Trees.
Gutted I missed Wickerman, - Had to get back for a train to Dorking! Excellent - Acrylic Afternoons and maybe Mile End would have completed it. BTW - I was the guy stood to the right of the sound desk screaming every word (yes the people around me thought I was a cock too!)
Just really disappointed we didn't get His n Hers either night, that is a fantastic track and deserved some party time.
I have to admit that I had my fingers crossed for His N Hers when they came back for the second encore, but in the end I was quite happy to hear Wickerman again...in fact it seemed a very appropriate end to the evening.
There was a nice atmosphere in the crowd for the most part but (and it's unlike me to say this) but I thought they were a little bit tame in some places.
I got a few funny looks when I was jumping about and singing along to the likes of Sheffield: Sex City and Countdown...but sod 'em. I had fun! ;)
Same for Sheffield Sex City, I had to explain to some people in front of me what was happening and why it was important. Yeah sure that went down well!
Could have lost Trees and Party Hard for some of the usual staples... Acrylic Afternoons etc...
I'm tempted to look on eBay to see if a copy of the set list goes up on there. REALLY wanted one for a momentum and just a special something as it was my 21st today... What a way to celebrate it!!
Don't really get what people are saying about the crowd being off.. but I was right at the front so maybe didn't notice it as much.. and what the above person said about the 31st tickets being sold first.
This was my first time seeing Pulp btw.
Oh, and I got to touch Jarvis :D

last night was amazing...personally glad to hear the set we got that night, my friend and I went on a bit of a nerdy trip to 59 Lyndhurst Grove a few hours before just to see it/take a photo and were constantly saying how cool it would be if they played Countdown and O.U. ....so when he said they were going to play some different songs and played Countdown SECOND we were going nuts!! :)
I was just gutted to find out later that whoever chucked that letter onstage inspired them to drop Sex City in favour of.....Underwear. :P Great song yeah but when you're on a high watching Pulp do the rarely played tracks you'd really hoped for you don't want to Jarvis go "hmm we were going to vary it a little but no, let's play Underwear" haha
can't have everything though, and we got to hear O.U/Countdown so I don't mind! :D fantastic set, beat Wireless by a country mile obviously, and was up there with their Glastonbury set. really hope this isn't the end for them...if not simply to hear His N Hers/Sheffield: Sex City at some point ;)
Got 12(!) songs on my phone, including Trees, Countdown, Party Hard and Wickerman (phone cut out with 1 second left!) Will be easier to send a Channel link as soon as I get them uploaded. Photos to follow too.
Edit: I'm still giggling at the point just before the end of Common People where Mark threw the t-shirt off stage and it hit the security guy! It didn't pick it up on my phone dammit. I did however get Jarvis humping monitors on Hardcore. -- Edited by SarahAWilson on Friday 2nd of September 2011 02:26:41 AM

Jarvis: "it could be the last time we ever see you"
post-encore
"I hope we do meet some time in the future,"
Ah, teasing everyone again.

I have to say, I left the gig with the gut feeling there was to be no more Pulp. Hope to god I've got it all wrong, but these two comments made by Jarvis, and something about the way bowed out at the end, definitely looked to me like he was saying goodbye on a greater scale than just for the end of the night.
I don't want to put a downer on all the excitement of an amazing night, and I've probably been one of the most optimistic on this board about the prospects of a new album, another tour etc, but at the end of tonight, I came away feeling it was the last time I'd seen Pulp.

Was it just me?
I think it may be the last time for the full Pulp line-up (1989-2002), but I don't think it will be the last Pulp gig. At the very least Jarvis will do solo dates (with Steve in tow) and play some Pulp material.
It will be interesting when Jarvis does make a new album whether he does it as a solo artist or not.
Perhaps they'll do a Suede next year and have one night each for His n Hers, Different Class and TIH. A lot of bands are doing the album tour thing so you never know.
